Winner of the English Association Picture Book Awards 2021, non fiction 4-7
Nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal 2021
It's the beginning of a new day, and through a series of enticing riddles, nature invites a little girl to come out and explore.
Who scribbles on the sidewalk with glistening ink? Snail!
Who's a comma in a long, long sentence of a stream? Tadpole!
Active readers will delight in the clever language and striking illustrations. With each page turn, children will solve the riddles about the familiar animals, plants and the weather that the girl in the story encounters outdoors throughout a whole day.
'The power of Portis's poems, and the surprise each page turn allows, lets readers experience familiar moments with awakened senses, offering them nothing less than a new world filled with fresh experiences.' - Publishers Weekly, starred review
Antoinette made her picture-book debut with the New York Times best-selling Not A Box, an American Library Association Seuss Geisel Honor book, and one of the New York Times Ten Best Illustrated Books of the Year. She was a recipient of the 2010 Sendak Fellowship. Antoinette graduated from the UCLA School of Fine Arts and then spent years in the world of design and advertising, working at Disney before taking a flying leap to pursue her sixth-grade dream of writing and illustrating picture books.
